what size is the HD and why would you think that a HD with an OS
installed from another machine, with drivers from an entirely
different MB, is going to load and work?

Hi,
I have one ASUS P2L97 motherboard installed with 266MHz PII CPU.
When
I tried to boot it up with one HD with Windows 2000 installed. I got
below message :
Award Modular BIOS v.4.51PG
ASUS P2L97 ACPI BIOS Revision 1001
Award Plug and Play BIOS Extension v1.0A
Trend ChipAwayVirus(R) On Board
Detecting HDD Primary Master ... [Press F4 to skip]
Boot sequence halted here. However, I can boot from that HD when it
was attached to another Magic Pro PC.
To verify the problem wasn't caused by IDE cable, I swapped the
original IDE cable with that connecting secondary IDE channel (where
CD-RW being connected). The IDE cable is working because BIOS can
detect CD-RW with it. Still booting halted at above message.
I want to ask why my motherboard can't detect the HD ? Any further
testing can be conducted to find out problem source ?
